Pediatrics
Curtis V Cooper Primary Health Care provides a dedicated team of Pediatricians and Pediatric Practitioners who specialize in the care of infants, children, and teenagers. We are committed to meeting the unique needs of every child, regardless of their stage in life. With the numerous physical changes that occur during the first 18 years, our goal is to ensure the optimal health of every child.
Annual Exam
A regular annual exam is essential so that our staff can detect any changes in your child’s life. These changes are more than just physical and include blood pressure, lab work, and updated vaccinations. Exams cover if your child is taking any current medications, family history, problems that may have. For parents of infants, annual exams provide the perfect opportunity to discuss any developmental concerns with their pediatrician.
SCHOOL PHYSICALS AND CLEARANCE FOR SURGERIES
We routinely do school physicals, provide vaccines and issue EED forms and 3231 vaccine forms. We certify clearance for planned surgeries and dental procedures at the local hospitals.
NEWBORN AND INFANT CARE
Our pediatricians take care of newborns in the hospital and provide preventive health care, vaccinations, and anticipatory guidance for infants, after discharge from the newborn nursery. Babies need at least 12 visits during the first 3 years of life. They also provide screening and interventions for mothers during this time in order to assist them if needed, during this critical time, and to ensure healthy outcomes for their next pregnancy.
ILLNESS IN CHILDREN
We see children with chronic illnesses, complex medical conditions and episodic illnesses, and provide same-day appointments as needed. Our main site has same-day in-house x-rays available, and in-house lab collection.
